My method for 3-color stranded colorwork using both continental (picking) and English (throwing) style knitting, accounting for color dominance and catching floats.
Thank you for your tutorial. It was very clear and I appreciate your fully explaining the float trapping. Can you make another video with the three colors and float trapping in situations where you have to purl back when knitting flat in three colors? This would be very helpful!!!
Thank you for this video. The sweater I'm knitting for my son has three rounds using three colours and I was so confused as I also am catching floats. This was so helpful!
I am knitting my first project with three colors in one row. I was trying to hold the two strands in my right hand and just the main color in my left. Thank you so much for this video. I am ready to try again!
Fabulous 😊certainly taught me a thing or two, and I was born knitting ( now ancient ) ! Now can I be cheeky and ask .... how do you do the pearl row? 🤔 Would it be possible for to make another video to help?😬
Love this! Could you please explain how you wrap the yarns around your fingers and hand on your left hand? It looks really handy but I can't quite figure out the wrap!
How do manage my tension when knitting with 3 colours, either the floats are too tight and the knitting doesn't stretch or if I leave them loose so the knitting can stretch the loops/v's of yarn that show on the front of the garment are too loose and it looks messy
This tutorial really helped me learn how to catch floats depending if knitting from the left or right needle. I'm still confused by how to determine which color is dominant.
This video by Roxanne Richardson explains color dominance thoroughly: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CaMjH8AqW0s.html She explains the order of floats which Karel talks about. Roxanne shows all manner of knitting, with yarns in left hand (continental), yarns in right hand (english) and as shown here, yarn in both hands. Roxanne has a whole series on multicolor (aka stranded) knitting, which I highly recomend.
